Fables

Light a match candles burn Open cover pages turn Naïve and in lust Time takes love from all of us Ink crawls across the page Fables about me and you Crossing stars and missing shoes A hand pulls you aside Taking steps in waltz time Given a wish a blank slate For someone who'll give chase Someone to make the climb Fables about me and you Crossing stars and missing shoes Fables about me and you Building castles all alone Waiting for sails on the horizon The kiss that leaves the rest behind The one that's worth the wait
